Children With Tumours- The UK’s First Virtual Charity
I’ve just read this in today’s Society Daily email:
Children With Tumours, which describes itself as the UK’s first “virtual charity”. The new charity aims to improve the lives of children with tumours. and will be raising funds to provide respite to children affected by the condition neurofibromatosis and their carers, and also contribute towards vital research. More than 25,000 people in the UK are affected by neurofibromatosis, which affects the skin and nervous system, including the brain. The trustees believe CWT is the first virtual charity as there is no office to fund and instead it will function entirely through its website.
I find the idea of a ‘virtual charity’ really interesting. Will this be the first of many such organisations?
